The `emacs-lisp-mode-syntax-table' example is not indented
correctly. E.g.:
(while (< i ?0)
(modify-syntax-entry i "_ " table)
(setq i (1+ i)))

No, it wasn't. I fixed it. Thanks for catching this.
I don't know why Yidong didn't see it; perhaps he was looking at the
Texinfo sources, where the example's indentation is indeed all dandy.
The problem was that this example used TABs, not spaces, for
indentation, which is generally a no-no in Texinfo (that's why Texinfo
mode sets indent-tabs-mode to nil). When an Info file is produced,
makeinfo indents examples some more, and then indentation with TABs
gets screwed, of course.
